I’ve spent the last hour screaming continuously in my bedroom because I’ve just discovered there’s a Wishbone movie being produced by Peter Farrelly. Yes, that’s the Peter Farrelly who wrote and directed the wretched Green Book and the monstrosity known as Shallow Hal.
Why am I fuming, when there are so many things in the world to be mad about right now? To be frank, it’s because I don’t trust Farrelly to do Wishbone justice. The short-lived PBS show that ran in the late 1990s followed a Jack Russell Terrier named Wishbone who would imagine himself as famous literary characters like Sherlock Holmes or Robin Hood, playing out the stories on-screen in historically accurate period garb. I have to admit, the costumes were the show’s big draw and as a child, I delighted in seeing all the tiny period pieces Wishbone wore.
